How to Catch a Lugia in Pokemon GO
Last updated
Ever wondered how to snag yourself a Lugia in Pokemon GO? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can add this legendary creature to your collection.
So, you’re on a quest to catch Lugia, the majestic Psychic and Flying-type Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO? Well, you’re in for an exciting journey!
Where to Find Lugia in Pokemon GO
First things first, to catch Lugia, you need to know where to find it. Lugia typically appears during special events or in five-star raids. These raids are not always available, so you have to keep an eye on Pokemon GO’s events calendar or in-game announcements.
When Lugia is featured in a raid, it will show up at gyms around the world. You’ll need a Raid Pass to join the battle, which you can get for free once a day by visiting a gym. Because Lugia is a tough opponent, teaming up with other trainers is often necessary to defeat it.
Catching Lugia After a Raid Battle
After you and your team have successfully defeated Lugia in a raid, you’ll have the chance to catch it. You’ll be given a set number of Poke Balls, known as Premier Balls, to catch Lugia. Your best bet is to wait for it to perform an attack and then throw your Poke Ball during the animation for a higher chance of success.
Remember, patience and practice are key. Utilizing berries, like the Golden Razz Berry, can increase your catch rate, but there’s always an element of luck involved. Keep trying, and eventually, Lugia will be yours!
